Designer Robby Cuthbert discusses the ideas and methods used to construct his tension based sculptures and furniture. He then demonstrates the assembly process for the gravity-defying Contour Coffee Table - a modern table featuring "floating" bamboo legs that are held together by steel cables under tension.

I'm a little conflicted here. Like the actual construction is simple and would be easy to automate for low skill workers to assemble and cut costs of this down to anything from 50-500 dollars. The design is wonderful, but again in large production could be much much cheaper. As a single man product 1500 isn't bad but for the product you're getting 1500 is about 3x more than I would pay.

The time and materials put into it arent worth $1,500, but I'm of the firm belief that you should like the things you surround yourself with. I believe that your choice in furniture is an expression of your taste and therefore an expression of your personality, much like how you dress or what you drive. I'd put the money towards a nice mattress myself, but to the target demographic, it's worth $1,500.

@@samus4799 To the right target demographic a white painting was worth millions. To the general public its just a white painting worth nothing. Not to shit on this designer, I myself think this is ingenious but I am not rich enough to squander $1500 on a 'bamboo' coffee table. If this design included more modern elements/ minimalist approach or something, I'd give it a shot, perhaps. This exact design isn't worth that to me, IMHO. I'm glad he shared the thought process, logic and construction in the video though.

Well, if he did it well, and he did, they would all make the same note--which is another way of checking uniform tension, right? If he set it up like a piano he could tune for tension.

@geoff7936
@geoff7936 6 жыл бұрын
Not the same note. The cords are under the same tension but are of different lengths. Length also determines the frequency. Although...if the tension varies by some cool mathematical formula related to the curvature of the legs and thus the cord lengths joining them, then maybe you could get the same note on all strings.

Amazing building quality, clearly no expenses were sparred in calculating the internal forces and stresses (it's clear that the table is purely at tension as the name implies, no compression or flexing or torsion on any member whatsoever, so an amazingly precise naming), not to mention the extensive optimization, and only the best fastening techniques and practices were used. The jig set-up itself is a work of art as well, wood on wood bearing with no clamps by the jig itself plus clamps outside the jig. Clearly a masterpiece by a master of art and engineering and crafts, worthy every penny.

You should drill some counter sinks where the crimps are to hide them. You could even cut out little caps to cover the holes and hide the ends of the cables completely

redsoxfan32 But how would you tension the cables if they need to the outside of the hole to crimp? You would end up with 3/8" of slack on every cable as it sinks into your countersunk hole. I sort of like the look of the crimps :P

I thought the same thing, that the copper crimps kinda ruin the clean look of the cables and wood. Also, I could see me crawling around the floor for something that I dropped and getting ripped open when I run my arm up along one of those crimps. Ohhhh, no thanks.

@@samo4648 You could probably get by using only 4 short cables in total since they would support each others weight when they are all connected and the glass would act like tension. Connecting them where the bottom and top leg cross over each other. Given how heavy the glass is it might be enough so they wouldn't just fall sideways also. It might also create a lot of stress on the 4 connection points (given how the wood is cut in this case) so you could use steamed and bent wood to get the full strength of the fibers. Instead of the exposed brass clamps (unless you like them) Drill a hole and use a steel wire loop clamp to hide them away. Harder to do would be to use only 1 single wire for the whole piece but still going through all the current holes. Anyway it is a nice build!

Wow! You are really good and quite young :D I visited your web page, I'm programmer of such things and your side is pretty cool :D (part time programmer - I'm high school student intersted in math, lazy though) I have a few questions (I didn't find FAQ): 1) Can you (or somebody) point me to math behind this? - I saw sketches on your side, is there more to see? Or is there different aproach than sketches? (like a demonstration)? 2) How long does that table take to make? - I mean for you as you are quite experienced. 3) Do you do the same designs to sell them to the public? - I visited your side and there is 'UNAVIABLE' written over every product. I'm interested if you cannot keep up with the demand or whether you made one, sold it, and kept it on the web page to show what you made and sold. 4) How many people are there behind this project? - Is it only you? Are you the designer and builder, while you have 10 people advertising, programming, video editing, recording you...? Thanks for answers / redirect to FAQ :D

I think that what you want to know from the math behind it would be the subject "static an strength of materials". I studies the behavior of an object when you apply a force to it. I am not native at English so i had to look up most of the words in internet so i could be wrong.

a simple way you could us, would be to use a 2d physics engine like algodoo, and simulate your design from the front and the side using springs with a short target distance as cables. Note that some designs can be stable without working in a 2d simulation, for example if you pull down on a square from the side, but pull up from the frpnt, it will move in both simulations in opposite ways that cancel out.
